Text	[Cincinnati vs. Providence 8/2/1878] During the game Dicky Pearce [umpire] called “foul balks” on Ward. Ward thrice happened to pitch above his waist, and Dicky wanted to throw him out. Carey objected and said “Why didn't you do the same thing in the first game as well as today?” Pearce turned about and said, “I wish the secretary of this association to take notice that I fine Carey for using insulting language,” quoting the language. The crowd hooted him and yelled and hissed. Dickey shot off one explanation to the grand stand, and Carey had his little say also. The end was that the game progressed and was won by the Grays in spite of the umpire, who now seemed to be off his base on called strikes. After the game Pearce said, “A man has got to be a thief to umpire in this city.” Which the same was overheard and duly noted just the same.
